This is (almost) 40!

I posted the other evening on my FB page that I’d made a decision and that I’d be blogging about it…so…here goes!! I am EXCITED to share!!

I intend on celebrating my countdown to 40 from now until Christmas Eve (my birthday!)!!! 6 months of celebration!

I recently came to the realization that I am SUPER-CRAZY-FREAKIN-EXCITED to turn 40!! I’ve never had a birthday that I shied away from, nor worried about…I have never been so excited about one either!

WHY.

I believe its because I feel like I know myself better today – at this moment – than I EVER have. I know myself with a love and acceptance that I can’t really express in words. The older I get the more ME I feel. It’s like finally understanding something.

I looked outside of myself for much of my life for many different things…love, happiness & approval to name a few. Over the last few years, and at a much deeper level lately, I realized I need only look within. Everything I need, everything I sought is inside of me. Not to minimize how wonderful it is to share these things with others, but when you depend on others to provide them…its a bumpy ride for everyone.

SO, I invite you to be a part of this journey to 40. Help me celebrate and I invite you to celebrate YOURSELF along the way!

I love that you are not doing the usual ” My Life is Over the Hill 40″ thing. Finally, a confident woman celebrating knowing herself and being comfortable in her skin! This is a powerful message. I don’t have long til I’m 40 either (3 years) and that is exactly how I’m going to be too. PS. You DONT look it!
